• Rebecca Ferguson on Mission: Impossible ? ?Tom says he makes the films for the audience. I don?t? - 19 July
• Now on the brink of superstardom, the actor talks about working with Tom Cruise, and admits that The Snowman movie may not have been much good ? but Michael Fassbender?s on-set fart jokes were fantasticRebecca Ferguson is drinking tea in the restaurant of a London hotel. In a dark blue jacket festooned with tiny gold stars, her brunette hair scraped back from her face, she looks perkier than anyone who gave birth six weeks ago has any right to. The 34-year-old Swedish-British actor has been perfectly decent in decent films (such as Florence Foster Jenkins), better than necessary in trashy ones (The Girl on the Train, Life) and has even emerged unscathed from a bomb (The Snowman). But it is her performance as Ilsa Faust, a daredevil secret agent in the new Mission: Impossible film and its predecessor, that has nudged her from the ranks of the interesting to the brink of stardom. Her compelling coolness threatens to outshine her costar, Tom Cruise. Indeed, her opening scenes in the latest instalment, Mission: Impossible ? Fallout, and the 2015 Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, both show her saving his bacon.?Oh my gosh. You?re right!? she gasps. ?I save him both times. I didn?t realise. Though I do remember Chris [McQuarrie, the writer-director] and Tom saying throughout Rogue Nation that every entrance for Ilsa needed to be significant and important. Tom wanted to create an equal for his character, Ethan. He?s bloody cool and strong, but also vulnerable. Ilsa has those qualities, too.? It?s notable that their relationship, while dramatically charged, is powered by mutual fascination and respect, rather than romance. ?These are people with a genuine equality between them.?

• 'I want everyone to be happy': how Rob Reiner became a great director ? and a political hero - 19 July
• The maker of This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me and When Harry Met Sally ? also campaigned successfully for same-sex marriage. He talks love, friendship and the moment Nora Ephron revealed that women fake orgasmsI didn?t have what he was having but my lunch with Rob Reiner, director of When Harry Met Sally ? and so much more, left me with a bigger smile on my face than a working lunch should. People say you should never meet your heroes, but Reiner is one of my heroes and, in this instance, the people are wrong.As a director, Reiner had one of the longest, and most golden, runs in history: This Is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally ?, Misery, A Few Good Men. With his production company, Castle Rock Entertainment, he helped produce many of the most enduring films of their time: In the Line of Fire, City Slickers, The Shawshank Redemption, Lone Star, Miss Congeniality. If you grew up in the 80s and 90s, and went to the movies a lot, both of which I did, few people will have shaped your cultural landscape as much as Reiner. Continue reading...
• The 10 best Hugh Grant films ? ranked! - 19 July
• From the ridiculously beautiful lead in Maurice, which is about to be re-released, to the foppish lovefool in Four Weddings, the smirking seducer in Bridget Jones?s Diary and the menacing role in Paddington 2, Grant is irresistibleEasy to dismiss this as another Grant romcom (like that?s a bad thing?), but Music and Lyrics features the Greatest onscreen musical number ever, and I?m including the entire oeuvres of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in that. Grant plays a former 80s pop star and the video of his hit, PoP! Goes My Heart, is the moment cinema peaked. Best song ever, officially. Continue reading...

• Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio turned down Brokeback Mountain - 19 July
• Original director Gus Van Sant has revealed that multiple A-listers turned down the chance to star in the gay romanceLeonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Ryan Phillippe were among the actors who turned down roles in Brokeback Mountain, the gay romance that catapulted Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal to stardom. Gus Van Sant, the director who has frequently collaborated with Damon, revealed in an interview with IndieWire that the film ? about two two men hired to herd sheep in Wyoming ? proved strikingly challenging to cast. ?Nobody wanted to do it,? said Van Sant. ?I was working on it, and I felt like we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast. That wasn?t working out. I asked the usual suspects: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe. They all said no.? Continue reading...
• A Prayer Before Dawn review ? Thai jail drama packs a terrifying punch - 19 July
• Joe Cole plays a British boxer fighting for survival among the inmates of a Bangkok hellhole in this grisly, visceral and often unwatchably brutal biopicTraditionally, boxing is the way out of the ghetto, or the way into a central core of toxic masculinity ? and then redemptively out of it. In this movie, it is the route to a safer, fractionally more prestigious, marginally less violent part of a Thai jail: the Klong Prem central prison in Bangkok. This is the true story of Billy Moore, a guy from Liverpool who got involved in drugs and burglary, tried to restart his life in Thailand as a boxer and stuntman, but was arrested there in 2005 for gun offences and sentenced to three years in this authentically terrifying place. He earned respect for mastering Muay Thai boxing, and was finally released in a royal amnesty in 2010 to serve the rest of his term in the UK. He was convicted again this summer for burglary.

• George Michael-inspired 'holiday romance' film Last Christmas in the works - 19 July
• Screenplay co-written by Emma Thompson, due to be directed by Paul Feig, was developed with the Wham! singer before his deathLast Christmas, a ?holiday romance set in London? co-scripted by Emma Thompson and Bryony Kimmings and recently acquired by Hollywood studio Universal, was inspired by the 1984 Wham! hit written by George Michael.

He?d already signed something to say yes, but he?d passed away.? Continue reading...

First Man stars Gosling as Armstrong, a former navy pilot who became the first man to walk on the moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 space mission. It will be Gosling?s second film in quick succession with Chazelle after La La Land; Gosling has a habit of repeat collaborations, having worked with Nicolas Winding Refn on Drive and Only God Forgives, and Derek Cianfrance on Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines.
